An exciting soccer season has come and gone. The Bulldogs made it to the fourth round of the playoffs to the regional qualifying round. Only the Waco University Trojans stood in the way of a district rematch with the Brenham Cubs. Brenham had played Waco Midway the night before to qualify for the regional round. The Bulldogs came out and played well but with a little over 17 minutes left in the first half Waco scored on an unexpected kick on goal that caught the defenders and the goalie flat footed and the ball went in the net. Within the next five minutes of play Waco added three more goals and led at halftime 0-4.

The shock and awe of the first goal just carried over for the next few minutes and Bulldogs could not stop the bleeding. At halftime the Dogs came together and were determined to try to make a stand. Offensively the Dogs just couldn’t get anything to go their way. Late in the second half with six minutes left, a mysterious defensive foul was called against one of the Bulldogs that gave Waco a penalty kick that was converted. The final score was 0-5.

This was the Bulldogs first time to ever make it to the fourth round in the playoffs. Thanks for a great season. The Bulldogs will be losing seniors: Forward Erik Torres, mid-fielder Ricardo Herrera, goal keeper J.C. Serrato, and defender Ramiro Flores.
